This project also lends itself well to identifying the story elements within the writing that the kids will do. The 6 elements of a plot diagram or traditional story arc are: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. I’ll post pictures of ours soon, but I know a lot of teachers teach this as one of their first books, so I wanted to offer it up now if it might help others! Wonder is a fantastic book to use to story map the story elements since there is a pretty clear overarching problem and solution as well as several main events. This Literary Elements: Anchor Chart BUNDLE contains jpeg versions of the anchor posters that are part of my The Interactive Notebook-Literary Elements Collection Bundle and my The Interactive Notebook-The HUGE Bundle.Included in this set are poster for: Plot Elements Characters Story Elements (character, setting, and conflict). I fell in love with this book, and I absolutely can’t WAIT to have my students read it and complete this yearbook project! I’d love to hear feedback about it and see final pictures.

Picture books are perfect for teaching plot elements in.

🙂 You can purchase the Story Elements Reading Response Task Cards HERE !īook Project: Here’s a FREE book project for Wonder by R.J. When teaching students about plot elements, I highly recommend creating a plot diagram anchor chart. This is a GREAT time to get huge stacks of picture books and have students start reading and writing about what they are reading! I highly recommend it, and these task cards provide excellent summative assessments, too. Each card focuses on different story elements and asks students to think critically about it and how it relates to their book. Reading Response Task Cards: The last activity we do is the culmination of all of our learning and helps the students apply what they have learned to actual literature! This is my favorite way to encourage thinking about texts, and it requires students to really think critically about story elements, much like the task cards above do, BUT they use their own books! Most years, I make the kids their own individual reading response task cards (You can read more about that HERE) so that they have a set with them all the time, but you can use these cards in a variety of ways.
